O ye roses, so blooming and fair!
Go hide your blushes, and droop in despair.
For Flora is coming, my shepherdess true,
And she is a thousand times fairer than you.
See, she comes, the pride of Spring!
United welcome let us sing;
Long live our beauteous Queen of May!
To laud her is our duty.
For in amaze all things do gaze,
Enraptured of her beauty.
Long live our beauteous Queen of May
To laud her is our duty.
